5. Doug Baldwin, Wide Receiver

Another undrafted free agent, Baldwin has made himself into a Pro Bowl player. Baldwin does not possess the fastest 40 time. He does not have huge size. But he, like Bennett, is smarter than your average player.

Baldwin used to be known as Angry Doug (maybe still is!). He plays with the proverbial chip on his shoulder. This comes from an inner drive that many players could never entertain. Baldwin thought others were doubting his potential, and he is probably correct. Too small for the NFL? Nope. Too slow? Not at all.

Baldwin will watch film of how to beat the best cornerbacks in the NFL and then go beat them. Is Baldwin the best receiver in the NFL? No. But he is the best wide out on the Seahawks and makes them far better than if he were not playing in Seattle.
